Bigwho808 New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 03/06/2021 8:11 pm Hey Friends, Ok. I found this today and it struck me a little odd. Check out the beard. Is this normal? And on the reverse, the center stairs, it reminds me of a sandbar—also a possible die chip center roof. Let me know your thoughts? Am I just seeing things? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Pillar of the Community United States 1022 Posts	Posted 03/06/2021 8:18 pm Looks like Abe is not ageing well.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Spence Moderator United States 18854 Posts	Posted 03/06/2021 8:22 pm @big, the stairs just look worn to me and then copper plating is missing in a couple places to reveal the zinc core underneath (on Abe's forehead and along the lower roofline of the Lincoln Memorial.

Bigwho808 New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 03/06/2021 8:40 pm @spence so nothing really cool? It's more external damage? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 18854 Posts	Posted 03/06/2021 8:47 pm In short yes that is my opinion, but please stick around for a little while for others to weigh in. It's good to get multiple opinions on these.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 49990 Posts	Posted 03/06/2021 9:53 pm Note Abe has a dent on his cheek area and brow area: When you look at the steps on the left side, you can see the push out on that area. (probably where you were already looking) But it is damage to the coin. Incuse mark on the obverse and a push out on the reverse. No premium for damage on a coin. There may have been a slight rotation on the obverse die. Richard S. Cooper Some have asked about my images I use and I'm glad to say, you can now you can see the DVD in sections on youtube: 1.
